Visiting some family in CO(Denver and Elizabeth areas) and bringing our sport climbing gear. Any tips on must climb spots for beginners to outside sport lead? (5:9-5:11)
Thanks!

Clear Creek Canyon or Table Mountain would be your best bets. I hesitate to suggest beginner areas, as they will be mobbed, but of course you have Canal Zone and East Colfax in Clear Creek. Table will be in sun, so only go early or on a colder day. It's been a while since I have gone there, so peruse the database for particular climbs. It's more spread out there and more routes packed in to the cliff, so easier to hop on adjacent routes. Many Clear Creek crags have just a handful of routes.
